Tabula Rasa, famous for its travel maps, has released the Rome Travel Map 2024-2025 from its 'Aiden Travel Map'.
Descriptions of Rome's numerous historical tourist attractions are also densely packed on the map, allowing you to experience the convenience of travel planning that cannot be achieved with a general guidebook.
Additionally, this map can be unfolded and folded at any time on site, serving as an alternative to a guidebook.
Guidebooks are ultimately left at your accommodation, but Aiden's maps will always be with you, and they are made of tear-resistant, waterproof paper to ensure they last.
It also improves the print quality and material quality of the mapbook and provides tools for planning your trip by adding travel notes.

<Pantheon>
[Pantheon] The pinnacle of ancient Roman architecture.
Designated as a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1980 and 1990.
Built by Agrippa in 27 BC as a temple to all the Roman gods (aka the Pantheon), it was rebuilt in 125 AD after a fire.
Thanks to its use as the 'Cathedral of Santa Maria Rotonda' until the 19th century, the original form of the building has been well preserved without the stigma of being pagan.
It is the world's largest concrete dome built without the use of steel reinforcement.
The oculus, a 9-meter diameter ceiling opening shaped like the sun, provides natural lighting and also provides cooling and ventilation.
Inside, there are ossuaries of famous people such as Vittorio Emanuele II and Raphael.
